Summary

Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 33 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet and a structural height of 33 feet. With a NID storage capacity of 160 acre-feet and a normal storage of 53 acre-feet, this dam serves as a crucial infrastructure to mitigate flood risks in the area.

Managed by the OWRB, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-33 has a low hazard potential and a risk assessment rating of 'Very High (1)'. Although last inspected in 1980, this dam with a controlled spillway type and a single valve outlet gate continues to play a vital role in water resource management in Washita County, Oklahoma. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam's design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlight its importance in ensuring water security and climate resilience in the region.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-33 presents an intriguing case study of a state-owned dam that contributes to flood risk reduction along Boggy Creek. With a rich history dating back to 1965, this earth dam showcases the collaborative efforts of various agencies in safeguarding the local community from potential water-related disasters. As concerns about climate change and water scarcity grow, understanding and monitoring dams like SCS-Boggy Creek Site-33 becomes essential in promoting sustainable water management practices for a resilient future.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
